Diseases of the pituitary gland include: secondary hypothyroidism, secondary adrenal insufficiency, gigantism in children, acromegaly in adults, hypogonadism (low testosterone in males), diabetes insipidus, secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods), and Cushing’s Disease (excessive adrenal function).Symptoms include: lactation in the absence of pregnancy, low thyroid levels, low adrenal levels, low testosterone, absence of menstrual periods, excessive growth in children, coarsening of facial features, enlargement of breasts in males, excessive thirst, severe headaches, and double vision and tunnel vision.Entrust and endocrinologist specializing in pituitary conditions to diagnose and treat them.
